Lullaby For Cain

Sinead O'Connor · Other Songs - Sinead O'Connor

From the silence, from the night

Comes a distant lullaby.

Cry, remember that first cry,

Your brother standing by,

And love of loved

Beloved sons of mine.

Sing a lullaby.

Mother is close by.

Innocent eyes

Such innocent eyes

Envy stole your brother's life,

Came home murdered, peace of mind.

Left your nightmares on the pillow.

Sleep now



So surrendering your soul,

The heart in you not whole

For love, but love walked on

Cast into the dark

Branded with the mark.

Oh shame,

Of Cain.



From a garden of delight

To a wilderness of night.

Sleep now

sleep now
